Wind and rain marking a change in the UK weather
Warnings have been issued as the weather across the UK becomes increasingly mild but wet and windy.
Read moreSunny spells and isolated showers.
Cloud and rain moving into the west early on, which will track eastwards into Northern Ireland, Wales and England. Can be heavy at times with a rumble of thunder possible.
Rain continues to move eastwards, locally heavy in Wales and western England. Drier elsewhere with sunny spells across central and eastern Scotland, but feeling humid for many especially further south.
Changeable over the next few days with temperatures around average to start but turning more humid. Risk of thunder possible later in the week with heavy downpours.

Rain and showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland will spread east at times, but eastern Scotland should see dry and fine weather continue in shelter of high ground. High pressure to the southwest of the UK will maintain drier weather across the southern half of the UK, and eastern England will also likely see much more in the way of dry and fine weather as well. Low pressure to the northwest is never too far away and this may continue to bring unsettled conditions for western Scotland and Northern Ireland, with some breezy winds as well. Perhaps turning widely settled later into August where high pressure to the southwest extends more bodily across the country. Temperatures around or a little above normal, perhaps warming further up later in the month.
Updated:
High pressure, and therefore more settled conditions overall, appears most likely for the second half of August. There may still be some rain and cloud clipping the west or northwest at times. For most, dry weather is likely to continue, although short periods of showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Temperatures are most likely to be around to above average, with a near normal chance of brief spells of hot weather.
